Vintage Eyewear (’50s)


Eyeglasses, or at least well-made and stylish ones, are extremely expensive these days. Plenty of designers offer good styles, but I prefer to get my glasses on eBay. They can be American or French made; vintage new old stock, and although buying a pair like this can be hit or miss once you receive them and try them on, they’re inexpensive enough to make it worthwhile. Virtually any style is available, but I particularly like American Optical…and fifties French frames.

  1. Glasses in this fashion are quite fetching. It seems like the eyeglass company Warby Parker borrowed some of their designs from American Optical because they are quite similar. I never thought about re-purposing vintage eyeglass frames before. Thanks for the great idea.
